I agree comrade. For what it’s worth, I find arguing from outcomes easier than from logic. For example 4% of inmates in the US Death Row are innocent, which is 1 out of 25 executions. A clear failure. It’s also incredibly expensive and lengthy for the appeals process, which also drags out the time spent in prison anyway. It also doesn’t meaningfully deter the crimes it punishes, as both the US and China can attest.
The real question is how can we make corruption (and other such crimes) systemically impossible so people cannot do the crime.
Like presuming innocence for the accused, we must also start from the basis that everybody can be rehabilitated.
